and Files Exceptions.

~ lAHLE4UAHi April plhi 1901
ED. CHIEFTAIS In your issue
Of the 3lst of March / was much
amused 70 find an article from Mr.
National in which he attacks one
B. il. Stone in an outbu.st Of what
he seems to think political sarcasm.
In regard to this question Of adj
opted citizens, he seems TO express
his sentiments in a manner that
calls forth few lines from another
adopted citizen Of the Cherokee ma
ton, and with courtesy TO the
friends and advocates Of all that is
just and honorable and as a de-
fender Of the government which it
requires Of me by taking the oath
Of allegiance, / deem it my duty
TO inform Mr.. National that / too,
am yindicator Of the rights and
privileges Of a legalized citizen and
suggest that he examine his letter
once more and discover, ifpossible,
the groundlessness of his argu-
ments. / would ask Mr.. National
if be is responsible for what he
writes, or is it a capri, Of his to
while away progressive time? Or,
worse, does be hope to bulldozc
the wide-awake classes Of the peo-
pie by ignoring the efforts Of those

lates them 10 action ? "Unity is

AFTER THE POET.
"Vinita" Goes After washington
Adair and Gets Him, too.

Ed. CHIEFTA1S Again our ir-
ritable friend, Washington Bunch
Adair, has been on the rampage,
this time forcing himselfupon the
public in a TRADE against the in
telligent people in general. His
childish simplicity in reasoning
and his effort to make Bunch the
chief, are ridiculous in the ex-
treme. The correspondent must
have been absent-minded when he
wrote his article. We maintain
that every means employed by the
Downing party to defeat the syn
dicates was reasonable and honor
able. Ifthere was an effort made
by the last council to annul the
present lease, neither Adair nor
any other National made it. If
that be so, why did the leaders OF
the National party attempt to bribe
Stephen Teehee, senator from Sc
quoyah district, one of the most
patriotic and honorable gentlemen
Of the Downing party ? And, were
it necessary, we could prove it,.
The next time that correspondent
writes about the lease we would
suggest that he confne himself to
facts, and not try to place innocent
citizens in a false light before the
criticising public. The learned
writer spoke not a word in defense
or recommendation Of his candidate
for chief Judge Mayes he did not
name in any manner, either for
good or evil. The burthen Of his
song was the syndicates. He rang
the changes upon that subject until
it provoked several sharp retorts
from the Nationals. One man
says, even if a boy is whistIing,
Il want to be an angel" it is bet
ter to keep the cookies on the top
shelf and put the step-ladder in the
garret, How is that for poetry?

DR.. Bland's Version of that Recep-
tion-No Money Was Asked
but None Would be Refused.


EDITOR INDIAN CHEFTAIN, vi
nita, Indian Territory, Dear SIR
find in your paper for March
31st communication signed
"Waupeketewa," which IS evil
IDENTIFY inspired by a false and ma
licious special from Washington TO
the New York Tribune, on the 18th
Of last month, about what occurred
at reception to Indians in my
parlors a short time before, and
which reception was truthfully re-
ported in the Council Fire for
March, as Col. G.. w. Grayson, of
Eufaula, Judge Stidham, of the
same place, Col. G.. w. Harkins,
of Tishomingo, Captain j. S.
Standley, Of Atoka, and others
present on that occasion, will tes-
tify. The statement in the Trib-
une's special, that President Sun
derland, of the National Indian
Defence Association, asked the
Indians present for money, and
that they pledged 5000, is entire
ly false as DR.. Sunderland was not
at the reception nor was one word
said by any Indian, white man or
woman during the evening about
money to sustain the association,
or for any other purpose. was
in New York when the falsehood
appeared in the Tribune and con-
tradicted it in the issue for the
next day, March 14th, which fact
seems to have escaped the atten-
tion of your correspondent.
Permit me to say, that it would,
in my view, be entirely proper for
the civilized tribes to aid the Ma
tional Indian Defence Association
by personal donations or tribal ap-
preparations in its work Of defend
ing the rights of all the Indians.
And in this opinion l am sustained
by the leading men of the Indian
Territory. Yours for justice,
T. A. BLAND.

I've returned to home and scanty lunch.
From electloneering for Rabbit Bunchi
I've rode and walked and laughed and sung,
But everybody says Rabbita hamstrung.

But he said, he's right were IT not for the

That he could not with the Rabbits mix
lie said again, they d blowed 1t round
That none but Rabbits could be found
And when the Rabbit as chicftaia lowered,
They, themselves, would have the power.
Then I went over 20 salassw creek,
And there met one awful "sllcki"
BE sGld he would for the Rabbit speak,
Aud 10 his party he'd ever stick.
And farther on, near Chlldors' station,
was Rabbits Voter" In lamentati0n;
For, says he, we'll lose our places,
lfcyer our leaders lose the racol.

Whore Judicious "Fair Play" took Rabbits
cause.

But, oh how Justice" made him squall.
"Fair Play' he said he wanted to prattle
But he'd admit he'd lost the battles
His tricks he said the darkics all knew,
Aud from his Bunch they all Withdrew
We then went on to Cooweescoowcc,
where Taylor once followed hoo-e-hoo-e
He said for the Rabbit he'd fought mighty
strong,
But through the CmETrAIS he found hos

party, as set forth in its platform,
and as practiced since the organi.
zation Of the party upon the basis
Of restored friendship and &C.
knowledged common interests, citi-
zens of any class, native and adopt
ed, can find an earnest of what the
party is willing to do. and will do,
should it win a controlling power
in the affairs of government. In
its ranks old grievances are for
gotten and none are disqualified
to hold office because he was a
rebel or because he is an adopted
citizen, nor will be denied the
rights the constitution and treaties
warrant him.

National" Bios an Afeotionate
Adieu to the Man ofPiotures.


EprroK CHfErrAIN ~ desire to
thank Mr.. Stone for his reply to
my communication II shows the
force of my criticism upon his pre-
sumpiious "address, f" his polished
culture and refinement aud his
brilliant qualities as statesman
aud correspondent. "The CALLED
jade" evidently winces under the
castigation he invited. But not to
appear wanting in justice, /
promptly acknowledge the contri-
button which he says he made to
the funds Of the nation when he
paid TO the clerk Of the court the
fee for a license to marry. Whether
it was in gold, silver, greenback or
national scrip, how wonderful
his liberality ! And, hence, he
asks a voice in the affairs of the ma
tion because a woman has adopted
him and for her sake and her rights
and those OF her children. Ugh !
Is that what comes Of marrying in
"good old Missouri ?" Tell us,
won't your Here children are re-
garded as belonging equally to the
father and the mother, with the
burden of care and providing on
the paternal, not maternal, side.
Mr.. Stone, did you ever know a
fellow in this Indian country to
whine about the rights Of his wife
and children who was not a measly
one2 / never did. But no one
objects, on that account, to your
enjoyment of all the rights bestow-
ed upon you by the laws OF the na-
tion, nor to your participation IN
the politics of the country and the
undisturbed exercise of suffrage.
When, however, you presume TO
characterize men as old political
hacks, whose lives have been spent
in the service of their native land,
and strive to combine adopted citi-
zens against those whom you ac-
knowledge to be gentlemen, up
right and honest, who are candi-
dates for Office in their own country
and under their own government,
simply because they speak their
native tongue and are not familiar
with your ways, a different ques-
ton is presented you are then
guilty of offensive partisanship"
and deserve rebuke ? The day has
not yet arrived, would have you
know, when native Indians, wheth-
er Cherokees, Creeks, Shawnees or
Delawares, will submit to such
ostracism nor when honorable
whites and freedmen will fail to
despise your asinine bluster. l
denounce your address" ," not be-
cause it came from a white man,
but because it was a mean appeal
against every Indian-speaking can
didate in the country But write
on, sir National" desires no
greater support for his favorite can
didate than such as you afford.
Goodbye. NATIONAL.
